About Nazenin Ansari

Nazenin Ansari is diplomatic editor of Kayhan, a weekly Persian-language newspaper published in London, and vice-president of the Foreign Press Association (FPA) in the city. She contributes regularly to the BBC, CNN, VOA and other broadcasters

The inventive tactics of Iran’s opposition continue to deny the Tehran regime the uncontested power it seeks. The result is that the post-election political contest over the future of Iran is reaching a pivotal stage, says Nazenin Ansari.

The hopes of Iran's democratic activists for a fundamental shift in Iran's relation to the world are undiminished by the nuclear dispute between Tehran and the international community, says Nazenin Ansari of "Kayhan".
